It's October 2nd, officially Britton's two month birthday. We celebrated with shots at the doctor's office, because that's how we roll in this family. Whereas her father's and my shots would have included alcohol, hers were of the vaccination variety. Poor thing cried, but took it like a champ. I got a flu shot too, to show Britton how it's done. Because everyone is scared that a sniffle is the swine flu I had to wait about thirty minutes for her appointment. Sitting on a cube. Nobody would get up and give the woman with the baby a chair! And that's probably because everyone in the waiting room was a woman with a baby. Except for one.... I don't want to be rude or judge (who are we kidding? I absolutely want to be rude and judge!), but to the lady whose two children were hogging four chairs? The floor is for kids. Or at least the grass-covered cubes. Teach your children some manners and scoot them out of the big-girl seats, ok?
On to stats! Britton now weighs 10 pounds, 9 ounces, a gain of 2 pounds and 5 ounces since birth. Her length is 23.25 inches, a gain of 2.5 inches since birth. And her head is 14.5 centimeters, whatever that measurement is for. We've gotten a handle on her gas and reflux issues, which she should grow out of soon. Britton is now moving towards a more predictable schedule as far as her afternoon nap. The morning is still a free-for-all of feeding and playing. She interacts with us now, chirping and smiling, and saying "oh" when you say it to her. She can hold her head up for minutes on end, and kicks against things - this girl is strong! She likes sticking her tongue out and enjoys napping in the swing now, as opposed to the boppy chair. Starting last night she is starting to get tired earlier in the evening, so we will be adjusting her bedtime down from 11:00 p.m. to whenever she displays signs that she's over it. We'll stick to the routine of a bath and bottle, and see how it goes. And in post-partum weight loss news, I am now down 41 pounds. That's 16 more than I gained during pregnancy! I am also adding more foods back in this week, and have learned that Britton can't handle onions. I'm trying cheese this weekend, so cross your fingers for me!
Check out my band-aids. All the cool kids have them!
